avol lime
The most ecologically advanced neutralizing agent
avol lime is the most ecologically advanced neutralizing agent for potassium permanganate, chlorine and their derivatives, and avol oxy white.
avol lime:
- is certified as a safe neutralizing agent
- removes permanganate more effectively
- provides garments with better contrasts
- works at room temperature
- bluesign®, GOTS certifications and inclusion in ZDHC Gateway at Level 3
Currently the most used neutralizing agents for potassium permanganate are hydroxylamine-based sulfate products and sodium metabisulfite.
Hydroxylamine was introduced in the garment finishing industry to replace metabisulfite, which causes severe irritations to the workers but, according to scientific evidence, hydroxylamine-based products are even more dangerous than metabisulfite.
How to use
Neutralization through avol lime is performed similarly to a standard process: comparable dosage to hydroxylamine, same treatment time and same liquor ratio.
Compared to hydroxylamine, it has the advantage of working at room temperature.
The sustainable eco-bleaching
avol lime can replace metabisulfite in the neutralization process of avol oxy white, and the combination of the two products delivers a completely eco-sustainable local bleaching process.
avol lime and avol oxy white are compliant with ZDHC Gateway (level 1), and fulfill the requirements of the greenofchange® platform.
